Belts

Many of your car's essential systems are run by belts. The most important drive belt, the serpentine belt, provides power to the power steering pump, the cooling fan, the air conditioning compressor, the injection pump and more. If this belt breaks, the engine cannot run until it is fixed. Another important belt in your car is the timing belt, which synchronizes the rotation of the crank and camshaft. The crank and camshaft allow the engine to run with proper timing. These belts are made of reinforced rubber and are intended to be replaced periodically. If you have a bad belt in your car, there are a variety of symptoms that can occur to let you know you need a replacement. You might start to hear loud squealing noises or screeching, which indicate that the belts have become misaligned or worn out. The power steering or AC might stop working, the engine might overheat, or your might see cracks and wear on the belt itself. If one of the belts breaks entirely, your engine could be damaged further and you might end up needing to spend more money to repair it. Ensure you buy OEM replacement Mercedes Benz belts here.
